ABOUT OUR NAME

At the Crated we care about the shipping crate behind a garment before it reaches the glossy hanger and photoshoot that often follows production. We care about the logistics; the engineering and invention that is behind the scenes of making a smart garment look effortless.

PRESS

"The Crated is investing in the idea that the future of wearables is not miniaturized wrist-worn computers, but rather technology that’s woven straight into the stuff we put on every day by necessity: our clothes..."
